How do I use weekend self-date in a diffuser?

Add Sweet Orange 2 · Lavender 2 · Cypress 2 drops to 200–300 ml of water. In a room under 15 m², use 1–2 drops less; in a room over 25 m², add 1 more drop of the main oil.

What can I use instead of sweet orange?

Swap sweet orange for lemon or bergamot — same citrus family. The blend will shift a little: lemon is fresh, bright and clean.

When is the best time to use weekend self-date?

Use it when guests are coming, on weekends, after tidying the house, or whenever you want a little good mood.

Weekend self-date · Sweet Orange, Lavender, Cypress blend

A weekend date with yourself. Sweet orange, lavender and cypress split evenly at two drops each: juicy, cheerful orange, soft purple florals and cool, green conifer. The scent is balanced and self-assured, great for the bedroom, a reading nook or an evening of cooking for yourself. In the evening, add 1 drop of lavender so your date with yourself ends on a soothing note.

How it unfolds

On opening. Sweet orange (ripe, sweet, cheerful and round) rises first, clearest in the first 10–15 minutes.

As it settles. Lavender (floral-herbal, clean and soothing); cypress (fresh, dry and clean like conifer wood) form the body of the scent and stay longest in the room.

What remains. With no woody or resin base note, this blend fades fairly quickly — switch it on again after 1–2 hours to keep the room scented.
